Trade Show Giveaways, A Great Way to Bring Traffic and Gain New Customers

There is something about getting free stuff. We don’t know what it is but for some reason everyone loves to get something for free. It can be something as simple as a cup of coffee from a friend or even looking back at the times we used to get that treat from a friend’s lunch in elementary school that they did not want. For some reason or another a free gift really makes us happy.

Look how crazy people get at sporting events, like football games, when there are promotional workers at the game shooting hot dogs and t-shirts out of pressured cannons. Or when these same event workers throw mini footballs or other prizes into the crowd, people literally lose their minds. Screaming for the promotional reps to shoot or throw the prize into their area. I have witnessed grown men and women basically snatch some two-dollar prize out of a small child’s hand. It is really sick when you think about it. Especially when it is over something you could probably get at the dollar store. Well, for whatever psychological reason we love a free gift or prize. It makes our day, no matter how crappy or in-expensive the item is. However, we are even more excited when the “free” giveaway is something practical or cool. More.
